"Aloha! Summer Rain is Cindy Combs’ beautiful new, all-instrumental, solo set of ‘ki ho’ alu’ – the uniquely Hawaiian school of fingerstyle guitar. The rest of the world calls it ‘slack key’ guitar. Widely known in Hawaii as ‘the slack-key lady’, Cindy Combs is a superb acoustic guitarist. Her music – whether self-penned, or an intricate arrangement of a favourite Hawaiian song - is subtle, warm, very lyrical."

Oko moi!
